The Craze TO- Go on the Stage.


New York Graphic: z Oh would Be
utterly surprised, said theatrical
manager TO the casual recently, 5''if
YOU knew how many we'll known So
.ciety people, especially Of the fair sex,
come to my Office and express de-
sire to become an actress, and your
establishment would be greater if you
knew their names. Ladies' Of wealth,
to whom money is no object, have
urged and entreated us to let them
appear on the stage, Offering to pay q
goodIy amount for the privilege. On
" atfew days ago a lady Of fashion
and culture drove up in her elegant
carriage, and expressed u most earn
est desire to become a member of the
company. She had been tolerably
we'll drilled in elocution, but knew alb
solutely nothing about acting I
asked her if she would be willing
ing to appear as a soubret, to
which she replied firmly in the
negative, adding that she under
stood every thing in. the profes.
sion we'll enough to fill a: leading
role. This settled the matter, and
she departed without more ado. She
is an exceptionally handsome woman
extremely fascinating in conversation,
but she was not willing to begin at
the bottom round of the ladder, and
so we had no for her. Young men,
whether rich or poor, must, as an
almost invariable rule, begin on the
stage BY exclaiming4 My lord, the car
riagge waits, and young women must
be willing to dust furniture and say
Yes, ma am for some years, certain
~ for many months, before they play
prominent parts. The art of acting
has now we'll nigh reached perfection.
The highest art is to conceal art, you
know, and people who see a we'll per-
formed play nowadays are very apt
to think, if, indeed, they do not say,
How easy it all is; Icould do as we'll
myself The fact is that it is very
difficult for a. beginner to even walk
across the stage properly"

Turn the BuStleS Out.

AS the year draws to close it be-
comes apparent that the unsolved prob
lens affecting society in the most per-
picking if not in the deepest manner
are those which pertain to woman's
dress.
1t is discouraging to find at the end
of the nineteenth century so much dis
content in regard to many features Of
female attire. The gentler sex has
been changing its fashions with be-
wildering frequency for great many
thousand years, but men are not yet
satisfied with the results produced
particularly in bonnets. The aurean
naediocratena has not been found. It is
generally felt that women do not wear
quite enough in the evening-unless.
indeed they attend the theater-and
that they don altogether too much at
other times. The necessities of civili-
cation require, Of course, something
more than the poetical but insufficient
zig leaf, but the question arises. is tho
hustle either essential or. ornamental?
If it had been willing to retain its orig
inal modest and unassuming size there
would be nothing to grumble about.
But the hustle has grown ambitious
and is gradually increasing its dimen-
siOns.
1t is not desirable that woman
should look like an arm chair walking
backwards. Nor is this the worst fea-
trre Of the. case. The hustle is danger
GUS to the welfare Of society. A woman
has been arrested in Florida for wear
ing a tin hustle filled with struggled
CUBAN rum. There is much food for
reflection in this unpleasant fact. In
prohibition towns, for instance, the
seat of disturbance might easily be
changed from the drug stores to the
bustles. The social chaos which would
naturally ensue is not pleasant to con-
template.
No, the hustle. must go, or. at any
rate, should shrink to size which for
bids the possibility of smuggling

3s The girls in one sof the junior classes
Of the Normal College were requested
a few weeks ago to name the female
character in any novel or drama they
had read which left the strongest I'M
preston on their minds. Two OF the
responses ought to be carefully con-
sidered by all,who are opposed to what
are sometimes termed blight and
frivolous reading" One. ;sirl, appar-
entity IS years old, said: Il prefer the
character Of Ro5nola to. any other that
I have read" When asked to give
her reasons she replied: because she
was SO good, SO. noble, so self-sacri-
Gcing.' The other girl, perhaps !.
year younger, said she liked the caar-
acter of "Rcbecca in 'lvanhoe,' be-
cause she was SO pure, SO liberal, and
so self-sacrifcing." Both used the
word self-sacrifcing; and, as self
sacrificing is the popular heroism of
noble women, it. is easy: to perceive
that these girls had in their own hearts
good deal Of that very feeling which
they so admired in others. -New York
